He walks through what it was actually like: open-ended orders that kept getting extended with no end date, rockets and missile intercepts in the air around him, congested airspace with multiple near misses, and living out of hotels in an Israeli town while bases a few miles away were locked down.</p><p>From there, the conversation widens to the bigger questions. Brian and Hans make the case that this is a war of choice being run around Congress, question the stated justifications given that Iran&#39;s nuclear program was declared destroyed in June 2025, and dig into the fallout at home, from gas pushing $7 in California and diesel over $6 nationally to a Strategic Petroleum Reserve running near critical levels. Brian also shares his observations on daily life and culture in Israel, why the Guard and Reserve have quietly become the military&#39;s first-line tanker force, and what the loss of Gulf bases means for years to come. They close with what&#39;s next for Remnant Finance, including Remnant Frontier and an upcoming IBC presentation at Joe Withrow&#39;s Phoenician League investment summit.</p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p> 00:00 – Opening segment </p><p>01:15 – Mobilized in February and the 90-day orders that kept extending </p><p>03:15 – Arriving in theater: rockets and missiles in the air </p><p>03:45 – Four weeks into a two-week war </p><p>04:20 – The Lincoln deployment and why open-ended orders are the worst part </p><p>06:15 – Shout out to Molly holding it down at home </p><p>07:05 – The Lincoln&#39;s first port call </p><p>08:55 – Flying under fire for the first time </p><p>09:50 – Near misses and the hardest flying of a 24-year career </p><p>10:55 – The KC-135 midair collision </p><p>
